Open Studio is designed for children and families to drop in anytime, explore art and have fun creating independently at their own pace.

Open Studio at MMAS is the perfect way to spend time with friends and family, there is something for everyone ages 2 to 102!
How does it work?
You can select from our Studio Package Options or you can select single items à la carte. You just pay for your package, canvas, paper, clay, etc., and not for the studio time (unless you’re using the pottery wheels). We also have a rotating stock of other interesting, seasonal projects and pre-made bisqueware waiting to be painted by you! Take your time exploring the different art stations, there are many tools and art media for you to use!
What if I don’t know how to draw/paint/sculpt?
Don’t worry, the Open Studio is the perfect place for art exploration and we have a wonderful staff to give you a tour and help you out with any art questions you might have.
